Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

He was worried about an issue with his left eye, so he specifically asked the doctor to check it, but the examination results showed that there was nothing wrong with the eye.

Eduardo forcefully blinked his eyes, feeling a slight relief from the pain.

He said directly, "Recently, the Federation announced plans to build a World Gate to massively exploit the resources of the Primordial World.

"Now that the World Gate, which the Holy Race helped construct, is about to be completed, I think the authorities can perform a public display of the World Gate."

Someone hesitated a bit: "The image of this World Gate doesn’t seem too good—won’t doing this backfire?"

Actually, the World Gate’s image is not just "not too good," it could honestly be called "evil."

The area where the World Gate stands is engraved with many bloody reliefs on the ground, like horrifying patterns of "blood rituals," "beheadings," and "heart digging."

Anyone who’s not blind knows this is not a good thing.

The Carmenians previously requested the demons to remove these patterns, but the demons expressed that the reliefs are related to the gathering and operation of Supernatural Power, so they cannot be removed.

Another advisor proposed a plan: "The image isn’t the main issue; we can disguise the reliefs by laying a layer of flooring over them."

Eduardo immediately decided, "Let’s do it then."

After discussing for a while longer,

The meeting concluded.

The advisors got up one after another and left the meeting room.

Eduardo sat in the chair, watching everyone’s backs, feeling a faint and elusive soreness in his left eye.

His nose also caught a whiff of an indescribable stench emanating from these people, mixed with the strong smell of blood rituals.

At that moment.

Eduardo inexplicably felt a surge of impulse in his heart, wanting to kill all the advisors and burn their corpses to ashes.

This impulse was so strong that he almost couldn’t resist taking action.

He quickly closed his eyes to hide the murderous intent within them while trying his utmost to control the incessantly surging intent in his heart.

After several seconds.

The soreness in his left eye faded.

The murderous intent within him also subdued.

Eduardo was filled with suspicion.

What is happening to me?

He reached out and touched his left eye, finally confirming in his heart that, "This eye of mine definitely has an issue."

Eduardo muttered in an extremely low voice, "Should I take the Holy Stone and ask the demons for advice?"

Just as this thought emerged, a strong sense of resistance inexplicably arose in his mind.

A peculiar intuition warned him that it would be best not to do so.

Eduardo shook his head: "Forget it, I’ll go see a doctor again in a few days."

He picked up his phone and sent a message to his lover: "Wash clean tonight and wait for me to come over."

"Buzz～"

The phone shook.

Zhang Hehua replied: "Ed, why don’t you wash me yourself?"

Eduardo glanced again at the image of his "lover lying on the dining table" from earlier, feeling a surge of restless heat inside.

Driven by desire, he had already completely forgotten about the unease he felt when he first saw the image.

Carmenian time, 3 PM.

The Azure Palace released a video to the outside world, announcing the World Gate has officially been completed, and tomorrow the first opening of the World Gate will be broadcast globally.

The video featured a white circular ring, which seemed to be made of stone, with a diameter exceeding five meters, magically floating in mid-air.

The ring was also surrounded by gentle ripples, within which fragmented images could be faintly seen.

The Federation officials also revealed that besides the World Gate, a major announcement will be made.

In the past, the Azure Palace would certainly host a grand press conference.

Now, with internal strife and external threats within the Federation, civilian gatherings demanding the collective resignation of the Federation leaders and severe punishment of those involved in blood rituals are happening daily in various cities.

To prevent triggering a large-scale protest, the Azure Palace simply did not hold a press conference.

However, small-scale protests still occurred.

The Land of Freedom exploded with news: "The Federation’s World Gate is built with demon participation, requiring a blood ritual each time it’s opened."

Although no evidence was provided, many people chose to believe the news.

In South Sixth District of the Federation Capital White Stone City,

Hundreds of civilians braved the severe cold, wearing red over their Cold Resistant Suits, gathering to protest the matter.

Wearing red is the protest method advocated by the Land of Freedom.

The red symbolizes the blood of the victims.

The civilians held red signs in their hands and loudly shouted slogans like "Government Step Down" and "Thorough Investigation of the Blood Ritual Tragedy" as they marched down the street.

In just five minutes.

Several armored cars swiftly surrounded them.

The military first used loudspeakers to announce, ordering the marchers to disperse immediately or Martial Force will be used.

The civilians did not back down, even lining up in several rows to confront the armored cars.

Some daring individuals even grabbed handfuls of snow, compacted them into snowballs, and hurled them at the armored cars.

The military immediately retaliated.

"Bang! Bang!"

Accompanied by firing sounds,

Tear gas was thrown over, falling in front of the civilians and "poof poof" releasing white dense smoke.

Under normal circumstances, tear gas causes severe irritation to the eyes and respiratory tract, victims experience violent coughing, difficulty breathing, and a burning sensation and itching on the skin.

But these were not normal tear gas.

The civilians inhaling the tear gas immediately collapsed limp on the ground, struggling with involuntary urination and defecation.

A group of soldiers, wearing masks, disembarked from the armored cars, wielding rubber batons, rushing forward to begin beating the protesting civilians.
